STOKE Gabriel & Torbay Police continue to be resurgent under Sam Biscoe and as well as climbing up the table, they’re on a six-game unbeaten streak.
The Bees sit sixth in the SW Peninsula League Premier East standings at the time of writing after collating four points from two challenging clashes.
First up was the grudge match against Newton Abbot Spurs on Tuesday, October 27.
Since the pair drew 0-0 back in August at The Rec, plenty has changed and yet, the points were shared once more.
Ryan O’Callaghan and Elliot Prangnell joined Saul Vanes on the scoresheet with the former Spurs man notching twice in a back-and-forth 4-4 tie.
On the flipside, Sam Hancox also scored against his previous club and the other Spurs goals came from Brodie Simpson (two) and fullback Jaden Bond.
There was no love lost with plenty of issues on and off the field, before and after the final whistle.
O’Callaghan and Vanes were on target again on the weekend as Stoke won 2-1 away at Crediton.
Meanwhile, in the South Devon Football League, Stoke Gabriel’s 2nd XI couldn’t replicate the fortunes of their 1st XI.
Hosting Kingsteignton Athletic 2nd XI in Division Three, they were hammered 7-0 courtesy of goals from Nathan De'Ath (three), Ashton Hogarth (two), Cameron Smith and Spencer Taylor.
There were some other pretty unflattering SDFL results at the expense of South Hams sides.
Totnes & Dartington were beaten 8-2 at home by Newton Abbot Spurs 2nd XI in the Premier Division and also on their own patch, East Allington United 2nd XI shipped seven against Spurs 3rd in Division Two.
Elsewhere, Ivybridge Town 2nd XI and Tavistock AFC 2nd XI couldn’t be separated in an eight-goal thriller plus East Allington 1st XI advanced in the Herald Cup after prevailing on penalties.
